<br />Roseville Public Works, Environment and <br />Transportation Commission <br /> <br />Agenda Item <br /> <br />Date: June 27, 2006 <br /> <br />Item No: 6 <br /> <br />Item Description: Update on Pedestrian Safety Subcommittee Meeting <br /> <br />A subcommittee of Chair Wilke, Commissioner Neprash, and Park and Recreation Commission <br />Members Mark Kamrath and Sarah Brudt Lenz, met on Jun 22, 2006, to further discuss <br />implementation of pedestrian safety improvements. The group reviewed several crosswalk <br />treatments / signage installations that could be used to improve visibility or get drivers' attention. <br />They included: <br /> <br />Flashing light installations <br />Centerline paddle signage <br />Double-faced signed marking crosswalks <br />Enhanced paintable message schedules <br />Flag holders with signage <br /> <br />The Committee felt staff should proceed to purchase centerline paddle signs for installation at <br />high-use crosswalks. These would be portable and would be moved to various locations to <br />educate drivers in various areas of the city. The group also agreed on an additional flasher at a <br />Central Park crosswalk, with Dale Street being first choice. Staff will also look into upgrade of <br />the Lexington A venue at Oakcrest crosswalk to a pedestrian-activated flasher. <br /> <br />We also discussed additional seasonal painting of crosswalks, with staff monitoring this spring's <br />painting for brightness through the season. We will also request additional no parking on <br />Victoria at Central Park with Ramsey County. <br /> <br />Recommended Action: <br /> <br />Additional discussion if desired. <br />
